After all, it would take a lot of work before Lucas could even get a hint of dirt on the Shepherds, and the investigation would have dragged on for months or years on end. At some point, Lucas would probably have called off the investigation or even deemed it a failure.

But things were different now, and Lucas’ forces were formidable Nothing good would come to Roland from getting on Lucas’ bad side.

Meanwhile, Charles couldn’t believe that he had worked on his speech for a full day and overnight for nothing. It didn’t help that his fellow university classmates were pelting him with questions in their group
